Why is embracing uniqueness important in personal branding?
And so what they think they're doing is they're like, well, that's what everyone else is doing, so I need to build my personal brand. You're not building anyone's fucking brand. You're just reinforcing an identity that everyone already knows about and does not find you interesting because you're the same as everybody else. If you remember when you were in middle school, there was like the preps and the goth kids and then the bros or the athletes or whatever.
What are the dangers of copying others in marketing?
When we're growing up, we're trying to figure out our identity. And maybe some of you weirdos actually switched tables once or twice because you were figuring out who you were. And what happens is we learn these identities that come with these sets of beliefs. You see this a little bit in the political scene.
How can individuality enhance engagement and perception?
If you're a Republican, all of a sudden you have to wear flannel and trucker hats, America, and shoot guns. And on the flip side, if you're a liberal... You have to just say all homeless people can do whatever they want whenever and we should let everyone across the border no matter what. We all should raise taxes.
What role does authenticity play in standing out?
Basically ridiculousness on both sides. What happened to the real middle people who just like, hey, you can marry whoever you want. Please don't tax me too much. There's this middle and that's why people like Rogan have blown up because people are like, he's a Republican, he's a liberal.
How can unique interests differentiate you in real estate?
It's like, he's just Joe Rogan. Like Joe Rogan is interested in UFC. He's also interested in aliens. He's also interested in standup comedy.
What lessons can be learned from the speaker's personal experiences?
He's also has like this kind of fitness carnivore or whatever thing going and biohacking. So he has these like very different interests that he's super deep on and no one would be like, Joe, so what we're thinking is you need to increase your biohacking by 15% so we can capture this audience. No, if you want to stand out in your marketing or even a personal brand, just actually saying what you really believe, the thing that you're afraid of saying because it maybe is two or three or four beliefs that don't go with the uniform that you wear every day. actually makes you significantly more unique.
Why is it crucial to avoid imitation in business?
Most people wear their clothing as a uniform to say, I am this type of person. People will look at you and they'll assume you're a goth or a crap or whatever. Here's where it gets cool. You start talking and then all of a sudden there's something over here and then there's another belief over here.
How can one develop a unique personal brand that resonates?
what happens is they start paying more attention because you don't fit the mold. It's my favorite way to differentiate any of the portfolio companies or even my own brand. This may sound crazy. Actually just be myself because as soon as someone feels like they have figured you out, they'll move on because they're like, I can predict all of this person's behavior. They don't need to stay in tune or stay updated because they know everything about you already. And I'm sure you've met people like this. He wears this uniform. He says these things. He believes that he is this person. He's category 17. Boom. Don't have to think about it again. Everyone knows the starter kit for real estate. You know, the haircut, they cut the side here, right?
Buzzed on the side, hard part, hard gel over the suit. Don't forget the glass is very important. Maybe the high level BMW mid-series wax with rims. Maybe a picture of the watch is like, yeah, just bought this beauty. Those guys are all the same. And so what they think they're doing is they're like, well, that's what everyone else is doing. So I need to build my personal brand. You're not building anyone's fucking brand. You're just reinforcing an identity that everyone already knows about and does not find you interesting because you're the same as everybody else. I think that you would be better served actually doing you. And that comes with all the weirdness that you are. Because I've met some of you.
Y'all are weird as fuck. And if you stop pretending to be this identity that you wrap into the starter kit of whatever Instagram influencer you're trying to copy. and you just were you, what happens is your unique individual personalities are like weirdness because everybody had different parents.
